SELECT CA SERIES FOR QUALITY, ENERGY EFFICIENCY, AND VALUE
Since 1854, CURTIS Air Compressors has empowered generations with the air power needed to support and grow efficient industrial, manufacturing, automotive, and service businesses. Today, FS-Curtis’ revolutionary CA Series reciprocating air compressors are built to be rugged, reliable and include cast iron construction for long-lasting durability.
Durability is not unique to the CA Series. Long performance life is built into all FS-Curtis air compressors. End users request FS-Curtis by brand name because of the reputation often passed down from one generation to the next, one operations manager to the next. Look inside the basic pump to see how high quality components and forward thinking design provides long-lasting durability for all FS-Curtis compressors.
FS-Curtis Reciprocating Challenge Air Series Air Compressors includes models that are tank mounted electric-single stage & two stage; tank mounted gas driven-two stage; and duplex tank mounted electric.
